plan to build a work bench in my new garage. Have a brick wall that i'd like to affix a 2x4x8 to. Have the hammer drill option, plan to buy a masonry bit, and will probably use tapcon screws. Do i go thru the brick itself or mortar? I'm thinking brick. Need advice on which way to go,

I would hope that you plate it on the outside and yes threw the brick. I have always ran a plate on the outside so that it gets spread out, bolts at top and bottom. Mortor gets dry and falls apart over time , so it's a weak point .
